Hospital program aims to cut unnecessary blood transfusions in maternity care
NCT ID NCT07544017
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a hospital-wide program called Patient Blood Management (PBM) can reduce the use of blood transfusions in pregnant women. Researchers will review records of about 44,000 deliveries from 2018 to 2025 at Corniche Hospital. The goal is to see if the program, which focuses on treating anemia, minimizing blood loss, and avoiding unnecessary transfusions, leads to better outcomes for mothers.
